Common Weeds in Agricultural Areas of Kütahya Province: An Academic Review

Abstract

Weeds are plant groups that compete with cultivated crops in agricultural ecosystems, causing significant yield and quality losses. Located in the Aegean-Central Anatolian transition zone of Türkiye, Kütahya province has a rich weed flora due to its climatic and edaphic characteristics. Among the most common species in Kütahya's agricultural areas are Sinapis arvensis, Cirsium arvense, Papaver rhoeas, Avena sterilis, and Lamium amplexicaule. In this review study, the weed species commonly found in Kütahya province are examined in terms of cereals, row crops, vegetable fields, pastures, and roadsides; the ecological characteristics, reasons for distribution, and agricultural impacts of the species are evaluated in light of the literature.
